Now that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has had his meniscus surgery, it’s time to focus our attention on the other multiple players who are looking to return from their injuries. On Sunday, Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward missed his first career game due to a hamstring injury that he…

Pittsburgh Steelers second-year wide receiver Sammie Coates had a trying, yet rewarding afternoon yesterday in what was statistically the best performance of his career, catching six passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns. But those came on 11 targets, and included three or four passes that might be fairly regarded…

Pittsburgh Steelers guard David DeCastro is regarded as the quiet type, sort of like Heath Miller, but when he has something to say, he usually hits the mark, and he did so yesterday on the opening of training camp when he talked to reporters about the plight that some of…

Tired, rookie legs. It’s a common experience for most guys in their first year. To combat that heading into Year Two, Bud Dupree and Jesse James told reporters today they’ve dropped about 20 pounds during the offseason. Dupree is down to 254. The AP’s Will Graves and the Trib’s Mark…

I know we’re all still trying to process today’s news of Heath Miller’s retirement. I’m still freaking out so it’s perfectly ok if you are, too. And though there is much to talk about what he meant to the team, this is a business, and like any business, you keep…

Unfortunately for the Pittsburgh Steelers last season they never got a chance to see their 2015 second-round draft pick play a single snap all year as cornerback Senquez Golson had his entire rookie campaign wiped out by a shoulder injury that he suffered during the OTA practices. While the team is certainly…

I don’t know that it will change anything. I don’t know that there will be any difference in the end results. Perhaps there won’t be anything different in that regard—and even if there were, we would probably not be able to tell. But there will be at least one thing…

Sunday’s AFC Divisional Round showdown between the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers at Sports Authority Field in Mile High Stadium could be a showcase of the walking wounded, based on the injury reports for both teams released today. While the Broncos have some key players banged up in safety Darian…

If Pittsburgh Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams (foot) winds up playing Saturday night in the AFC Wild Card game against the Cincinnati Bengals he’ll do so without having gone through a formal practice with the team this week. The Steelers Thursday injury report shows that Williams failed to practice again…

Even though Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison is very upset and mad about a Saturday report by Al Jazeera that accused him of using HGH, he reportedly won’t be pursuing legal action against any of the parties involved. According to Will Graves of the Associated Press, Harrison said Monday morning…

In the first half of Sunday’s win over the Denver Broncos, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense only managed to average 5.29 yards per play in the first half on their way to scoring 13 points. In the second half, however, the offense came alive as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and wide receiver…

At the start of the season, it was reasonable to expect the Pittsburgh Steelers Week 16 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens would hold significant meaning for both sides. And to play it on a Sunday night, in primetime football, would only heighten the stage. But the Ravens have tumbled, assured…

You probably don’t care how I feel. I might be the one writing this but we’re all still just fans. But if it is worth anything to you, though I felt that pit in my stomach after seeing Ben Roethlisberger again injured, I didn’t panic nearly as much as before. Because we’ve…

During his Wednesday session with the media, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown said that it is in his belief that he’s not getting the football enough with quarterback Mike Vick under center. On Thursday, offensive coordinator Todd Haley responded to those comments. “Did we win? We did. He’s getting…

Outside linebacker Jarvis Jones has received no shortage of critiques, from an equally numerous set of critics, since the Pittsburgh Steelers made him their 17th overall selection in the 2013 NFL Draft. Certainly, many of the criticisms targeted at him have had at least a trace of merit behind them….
